I became a mom. On January 12, 1996, during Ohio's Blizzard of 1996, I gave birth to the most perfect, 6 lb 2 oz little girl, who we named Emily Ann. It's hard to believe today she is 15-years-old. What a bittersweet day.
We blinked and she grew up in front of our eyes. We are
so proud of the young lady she has become and I know the future has big things in store for her.
